have their very own "cadillac plan for life" is very telling. If the crap plan they are shoving on the rest of us is so great, let THEM SIGN ON. Same plan for EVERYBODY. They spent the entire 8 years of President Obama's administration working less than ANY congress has ever worked, yet they feel they deserve a special healthcare plan. They would have been considered part time workers in a regular job, with NO benefits. Why aren't people asking them about their plan at the town halls when they actually show up? Every modern country has universal healthcare, why not this one???

the ACA and trying to replace it with much more expensive and disruptive plans is not going to help keep ACA. I hope those Democrats start to realize that. Their effort on health care needs to be on preserving what exists.
